WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest Associated Press-GfK poll holds bad news for President Barack Obama, but as the November elections draw closer, there are ominous signs for congressional Democrats as well. A look at the key findings from the March poll on this year's election and the burgeoning 2016 presidential field. GOP GAINING GROUND Preferences for control of...

Now, now Republicans. Don't get too excited. If you've done any study of history at all you know that the pendulum swings - - left, then right, then left, then right etc etc etc. That is simply the nature of our schizophrenic political system and our uninformed electorate. I really enjoy the entertainment value of being an independent centrist - - I can watch the action and just laugh at all its folly without getting upset.

This poll reflects the difficult ACA rollout and the unending GOP effort to poison the public attitude toward it and to smear Obama and the democrats at every turn. It's surprising the numbers are as close as they are. That suggests the democrats have weathered the storm and the GOP's credibility has suffered.

Over the next six months as the benefits of the ACA become better understood, as the economic recovery continues, and as our involvement in Afghanistan winds down, the blue line will trend up and the red line will trend down. The GOP will not win the senate and they will struggle to hold their dubious majority in the House despite all of their gerrymandering and vote rigging.

Its going to be very ugly for democrat-socialists. Look for Barry to roll out the rest of his progressive transformation between now and November because after then he'll have plenty of time for golf and basketball.

No matter how much he licks the Obamacare sore, it just won't go away.

Our own Scott Gessler made similar claims that turned out to be false. The article in your link refers to republican claims of "potential" voter fraud. They've proved nothing but that isn't their objective. In several key states controlled by the GOP, their objective is to plant the suspicion of fraud, without evidence, to generate support for their ballot restriction efforts aimed at disenfranchising traditional democratic constituencies. In other words, while hiding behind their own myth of voter fraud, they are working hard to rig the next election in their favor. They know they can't win otherwise.

The GOP's lie campaign has failed. The truth about the ACA is becoming clear to more voters every day. Its remarkable success will win congress for the democrats. The GOP will be banished to irrelevance in the political wilderness.

An AP poll? Give me a break! The AP has a liberal agenda. This one is to lull Republicans into thinking that victory is a slam dunk. Then, like last time, Republicans stay home and the socialists win again.

lets hope that the american people wakes-up even more by november to the fact that obama and his mob on all levels lied to us, and made our country worse. not only that, but he lost his credibility globally. also by november millions of americans will start to realize the true cost of obamacare in longer waits and higher costs.

But you either vote for one side or the other or you just don't vote.

So choose your side, but at least understand why you chose it.

Good I hope the GOP wins, and when the conservatives are blindly following their dear leader to the fiscal cliff that will happen in the next 5-7 years, those on the left can blame the current president solely for all the debt, and the financial fallout can be attributed to that president too.

I hope they cut all well-fare programs and food stamps. That way when the crime levels rise to the 1980s level, we will know who to blame.

Let them turn off financial aid for college, that way when unemployment is 25%, that way no one will have a way out.

Let them regulate abortion, and when there are 25,000 deaths a year from botched at home abortions, we will know who to blame.

Let them start another war and not pay for it, that way when the national debt hits 20 trillion we will know who to blame.

Let them privatize social security, that way when the market tanks and the hedge fund managers still get their multi-million dollar bonus, and the elderly are committing suicide and living on the street in the millions, we will know who to blame.

Let them privatize the highways, so that a gallon of milk will cost sixteen dollars because of all the tolls that the drivers will have to use.

Let them pass everything they want and we will see this country fall faster than a rock from the empire state building with rocket pushing it down. So please GOP win this election, and the next. I'll sit back with my martini, and watch the world burn. Meanwhile, all the ditto heads here will be still blaming Obama, and worshiping their dear leader that Mr. Adelson hand picked for the job.

A lie will circle the globe before the truth has the chance to put its boots on. Terry Pratchett.

If you plan on winning based on the other team's best player getting hurt, and not on your team's abilities, you don't deserve to win anything.
